The Run Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has it all - great story - so many ups and downs - excitement - and every human emotion possible. Anyone that has traveled abroad or even to different parts of the US will relate to this story. The writing and attention to detail keeps you glued to the pages until the end. I really enjoyed the subtle comedy throughout the novel that keeps you lifted even throughout the most brutal happenings in the drug cartel world. Next time I cross the border,I'm definitely going to buy that Surfing Monkey with blue and white striped swim trunks and sunglasses. Classic!
As a San Diego native and a frequent visitor to Baja California, I was impressed with the amount of detail, references and descriptions of many places people, and culture. Even if you don't live here, by the time you finish the novel, you'll feel like a native. I really hope we get to see this on film, what a great movie it would be.

Working in the Shadows: A Year of Doing the Jobs (Most) Americans Won't Do Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off full disclosure: I am a Mexican born 1986 Amnesty U.S. citizen.
Growing up in Los Angeles and the interest that was put on our education I could have easily fallen into one of these jobs. From the time I was 15 (I lied about my age) and went to work for a temp agency along side other Mexicans that were here illegal or legal and uneducated. They would send us to the worst jobs, for instance a dog food company that had all the same characteristics of the chicken plant the author described. The one difference was I threw up after each shift because the smell was so nauseating. It was actually this job that made me choose education over sweat.
Happy Chicken (this made me laugh) I applaud you for putting your money where your mouth is. Instead of just saying "Illegals" like the majority of America, you brought light that it is not just illegals that are being taken advantage of. It's every person citizen or non citizen that walks through the doors of these companies that care only about their shareholders. Please don't assume that I am anti Capitalism because I love profit as much as the next guy but not at the expense of workers, especially docking them for having to take their kids to the doctor or no sick days.
Read the book get a first hand insight to what really happens at these kinds of jobs.
